...impaired physical conditions observed in this instance are in reality due to the lack of oxygen rather than to the anesthetic. If the highly specialized cells of the brain are deprived of their essential oxygen too long, irreparable damage may result. Such after-effects are not confined to Nitrous Oxide-Oxygen, as they may and do follow the use of other anesthetic agents, for example, ether as mentioned in the report. Destruction of the brain cells may occur as a result of asphyxia without anesthesia...

Cyanosis is due to the sulfur of the sulfanilamide combining with the hemoglobin of red blood corpuscles. This prevents the red corpuscles from carrying oxygen through the system and as the result, the body turns blue. Such catastrophes may happen if a patient...
